[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 36586, member: 376"] Well, generally longer bullets = longer bearing surface = higher pressure, so I'd say you probably need to find some load data and back off a ways. I don't know if the heavier bullets are going to improve your accuracy a lot; what I've heard generally is they aren't quite as accurate, in an absolute sense, as the lighter bullets in a given caliber (50-55gr for the .224), but keep it together better at longer ranges, so it's sort of a trade-off. If the gun already won't go under an inch w/ 55gr bullets, I don't think it's going to do much better w/ the heavier pills, but I could be wrong. Monte [/QUOTE]
